A part of a body of work while working at the University of California, Santa Barbara Ombuds Office, completed after the office closed. A part of my patchwork legacy of how I chose to use the talents and gifts a part of being human. Working on organizing and publishing into the future on Internet Archive. "It is the valuable contributions of pioneer ombudsmen, ombuds scholars, and those who have walked within the profession before me that have laid the foundation of understanding from which I draw meaning, purpose, guidance, appreciation, and inspiration. The elders pass along fire from the torch they’ve kept lit for thirty years and light my torch, offering support, mentorship, and guidance. I begin to carry on their tradition. A tradition marked by a passionate pursuit of a profound sense of life’s purpose as a peacemaker- part of which has to do with ombudsing and ombuds scholarship, and part of which entails a life lived outside of the office.
Inspired by the mentorship and writing of Stanley V. Anderson, it is my hope to continue on with his tradition of fostering a greater understanding of ombudsing through research and writing.
Presently, I consider this paper a work in progress, and am seeking feedback from the greater ombuds community with regard to ways in which to improve the work.
It is important to take note that I am not an “academic”, but merely an inquisitive, curious practitioner who has always enjoyed a good bit of research, creativity, and invention.
Enjoy!!"
